May 1738, Maryland
May 27, 1738- Charles County Land Records, 1733-1743; Liber O#2; Page 329.
Recorded May 27, 1738.
Image by paints12 via FlickrMay 1, 1738 from John Hanson, Sr. of Charles County, Gentleman, to John Hanson, Jr. (son of the aforesaid John Hanson, Sr.) of Charles County, for the natural love that he has for his said son and for 5 shillings and for divers other good causes, a certain parcel of land in Charles County, being part of a tract of land called Green Land, bounded by Moors Lodge, the bound tree of Bartons Meadow, containing 555 acres.
Signed -John Hanson. Wit - Robert Hanson, Samuel Hanson Jr.
(Green Land was formerly called Husseys Addition.)
John Hanson, Jr. is my sixth great granduncle. He is the son of John Hanson, Sr. & Elizabeth Hussey.
Elizabeth Hussey is my seventh great grandmother, the widow of my seventh great grandfather, Samuel Luckett. The marriage is her third, and she is quite a bit older than her spouse.
Elizabeth Hussey is the daughter of Thomas Hussey, Gentleman, and his wife, Joanna Porter, who were of the Roman Catholic faith. The 'Gentleman' indicates that he is descended from English gentry. Documents bearing his signature indicate that he was educated in letters, an accomplishment not too common among early settlers. Thomas became one of the interesting characters of the early days and once wrote to Lord Baltimore that he had been robbed by the Indians "of alle but the clothes on my bodye".
Following Samuel Luckett's death, Elizabeth lost little time acquiring a third husband, and by November 6, 1705, she had married John Hanson. On that date, John Hanson and Elizabeth, and Samuel Luckett, her son, 'executors of Samuel Luckett, deceased...' rendered an account to the Prerogative Court of Charles County:
"At the fall session of the County Court the Grand Jury with John Beale as foreman, indicted Nicholas Gulick, a Romanist priest, for "marrying John Hanson and the widow Luckett contrary to law." Likewise, John Hanson and Elizabeth, his wife, were indicted "for being & Suffering the ___ to marry."'
There are no known descendants of Elizabeth Hussey and John Gardiner who was a staunch Roman Catholic; Samuel Luckett, her second husband subscribed to the Church of England; and the third, John Hanson, was also of the Church of England. There were four children from this third marriage and all four of these children were reared within the Catholic Church."
These were difficult religious times dating back over 150 years to the reign of Henry VIII. Her parents were Catholic, her first husband was Catholic, she was married to her third husband by a Catholic priest, and she reared the children from her first husband as Catholics. The only period she appears to follow the Church of England is during her marriage to Samuel Luckett. It is probably no coincidence that Thomas Hussey Luckett, a Catholic, was the only son of Samuel and Elizabeth's children to be named in the will of Elizabeth's father.

May 1738, Connecticut
May, 1738- Colonial Connecticut Records, Volume VII: "Upon the memorial of Prince Tracy of Willington, representing the peculiar circumstances of one Reuben Goff, an idiot child now resident in Wellington, and praying for relief, &c., as per his memorial on file, dated May 15th, 1738; Resolved by this Assembly, that there be paid out of the publick treasury of this Colony, for the support of said Reuben Goff, the sum of ten shillings per week; and that Nathaniel Stanly, Esqr, of Hartford, do from time to time sign and direct orders to the Treasurer of this Colony (on application of such meet person as the town of Willington shall to that purpose appoint,) to draw out of the publick treasury the sum of ten shillings per week, quarterly, to be improved for the subsistence of the said idiot child, during the pleasure of this Assembly."
Reuben Goffe is the 8 year old son of Solomon Goffe & Mary Doolittle. Solomon Goffe must have suffered a series of financial reverses, as he had bought his brothers' interest in a property in Wethersfield in 1711.
He lived there ten years. In 1721, he sold the place to Thomas Andrews, of Wallingford.
Solomon and his wife were passing through Willington as transients at the time of Reuben's birth. They were very poor and unable to care for the disabled child, and through the years he was cared for by various residents of Willington.
The fate of Solomon and Mary is unclear. They may have settled in Willington, or died about this time.

Born in Middletown, Nathaniel was the son of George Hubbard & Elizabeth Watts, sister of Captain Thomas Watts. Nathaniel's father, George Hubbard, had come from England to Concord, Massachusetts in 1633.
In 1682, Nathaniel married Mary Earle, who preceded him in death. They lived at Long Hill, on the cross roads some two miles west of the Connecticut river, on property purchased by his father. Mary Earle's grandfather was Henry De Earl, Lord of Newton of England, who came to America on the ship "Speedwell" in 1656.
Nathaniel contributed 15 shillings toward the first church bell used in Middletown; which supplanted the drum for calling the people together.
He is buried in Riverside Cemetery, Middletown.
